Pimsync v0.5.11 is out, with the following set of improvements. Incremental sync[permalink] When watching a storage (e.g.: watching a filesystem for real-time changes), instead of executing a full synchronisation, a more focused and granular synchronisation is done. This avoid wasting a lot of networking usage and processing power checking a lot of items that we are certain have not changed. This feature was made easier by multiple refactors leading up to it. In particular, the “Plan” generated is simply a stream of operations. and much of the code works on exactly this: Stream<Item = Result<Operation, PlanError>>.

When an interval tick is received (e.g.: every 5 minutes) or when unknown changes have occurred, a regular full sync is performed.
